The Governor ,ol the “Empire State of the ijuotli” addressed a large audience*in Albany, en Monday last. About half of the audience, we noticed, could be counted as Sam's boys. Mr. Johnson made the poorest effort we ever heard from a candidite for Governor. It fell from his lips as flat and stale as dish-water. He iven attempted lo be witty, but made a signal failure.

The Platform and Principles of the AMERICAN PARTY. At a regular meeting of the National Coun cil, of the American Party, begun and HELD AT PHILADELPHIA, ON THE STH OF JUNE, A. D. 1855, THE FOLLOWING WAS ADOPTED AS .Trig Platform and Principles of the Or ganization,. .... , . t —The acknowledgment of that Almighty Being; wiio rdles over the Universe, —who pre sides over the councils of nations, —wlto conducts the affairs of men! and who, in every step by which we have, tfye charactcj’ of an independent nation, has distinguished us by some token of Providential agency. , ll.—The cultivation and d?vel.qpement of a sentioient of profoundly intense American feeU ing; of passionate attachment to our country, its history and its institutions ; of admiration for the purer days of our national existence; of venera tion, for the heroism that precipitated our Revo lution; and of emulation ol the virtue, wisdom, and patriotism that framed our constitution and first successfully applied its provisions. Iff.—The maintenance of the union of these United Elates as the paramount political good ; or, to use the language of Washington,“the pri mary object of patriotic desire.” And hence— -Ist. Opposition to all attempts to weaken or subvert it. 2d. Uncompromisingantagonism to every prin ciple of policy that endangers it. 3d. The advocacy of an equitable adjustment of all political differences which threaten its in .legntv or perpetuity. 4t li. The suppression of all tendencies to poii tical divisions,founded on “geographical discrim inations; or on the belief that there is a real dif ference, of interests and views” between lire vari ous* sections of the Union. silt. The full recognition of the rights of the several Stales, as expressed and reserved in the Constitution ; and a careful evidence, by the Gen eral Government; of all interference with their rights by legislative or executive action. IV. —Obedience to the Constitution ol these U. States, as the supreme law of tfie land, sacredly obligatory upon al) its parts and members; and steadfast resistance to (he spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. Avowing that in all doubtful or disputed points it may only be legally ascertained and expounded by the judicial power cf the United States. And, as a corollary to the above: j 1 . A hqldt of reverential obedience to t.ie laws whether National,State, or Municipal, until they are either repealed or declared unconstitutional by |he proper authority. 2. A tender and i acred regard for those acts of slalesman-liip, which are to be contradistinguish ed Irnm acts of ordinary legislation, by Ihe (act ol llieir being of ihe nature of compacts and agree inents; and so, to be considered a fixed and set tled national policy. V. —A radical revision and modification of the laws regulating immigration, and ifie settlement of immigrants. Offering to the, honest ifilrnigrant who from love of liberty or haired of oppression, seeks an asylum in the United Stales, a friendly reception and protection. But unqualifiedly con demning ihe transmission to our shores of felons and paupers. VI. —The of the Natu ralization Laws. MB The rqpeal try the of the_ respect ive States, of all State laws allowing foreigners not naturalized to vole. The repeal, without retroactive operation, of all acts of Congress making grants of land to tin naturalized foreigners, and allowing them to vote in Hie Territories. VII —Hostility to the corrupt means by which the le idera of party have hitherto lorced upon us and our political creeds. Implacable enmity against the prevalent de nt (.rah zhi g system of rewards for political subser viency ,iu id of punisTlinenls fur politiot; ence. , , , Disgust for the wild hunt after office which characterizes the age. , . i These on the one hand. On the oilier : Imitation of the practice of the purer days of llie Republic; and admiration of the maxim that “office ffiould seek the man, and not man the of- anil of die rule that, the just mode of ascer taining fitness for office !s the capability, the faithfulness,and the honesty of the incumbent or candidate. IX.—The iefortftalion of the character of qur National Legislature, by elevating to (hat dig nified and responsible position men of higher qualifications, purer murals, and inure unselfish patriotism. X —The restriction of executive patronage, espet ialjy in the matter of appointments to office so far a3 it may be permitted by the Constitution and,-consistent with the public good. , Xl—The edifeation ol the youth of our coun try iti schools provided by the Slate ; which school shall be common to all, without distinc tion of creed or party, and free,from any influ ence or direction cf a denominational or partisan character.’ M | And, inasmuch as Christianity, by the Consti tutions of nearly all the Stales; by the decisions of the most eminent judicial authorities; and by tiie consent of the people of America, is consid ered an element of our political system ; and, as the Holy Bible is at once the source ol Christian ity, and the depository end fountain of all civil j and religious freedom, we oppose every attempt to exclude it from the sthools thus established in the States. t Vlll.—Resistance to the aggressive policy and corrupting tendencies of the Roman Catholic Church in our country by the advancement to all political stations —executive, legislative, judicial or diplomatic—of those only who do not hold civil allegiance, directly or indirectly, to any foreign power, Whether civil or ecclesiastical,’ and who are Americans by birth, education and training .—thus fulfilling the maxim: “Americans only ■ shall govern America.” The protection of a?( citizens in the legal and proper exercise ot their civil and religious fights and privileges; the maintenance of the right of every man to the full, unrestrained, and peaceful enjoyment of his own religious opinions and wor ship, lin'd a jealous resistance of all attempts by any sect, denomination or church, to obtain an as cendency over any other in the State, by means of any Special privileges’ or exemption, by any political Combination of i's’ m'embers, or by a di vision of their civil allegiance with any foreign power, potentate, or ecclesiastic. Xll.—The American party having arisen upon the ruins and in spite ot the opposition of t lie Whig and Democratic parties,cannot bV in any manner responsible for the obuoXiou* acts of violated pledges of either. And tiie Systematic agitation of the slavery question by tlioce parties having elevated sectional hostility into a positive element of political power, and brought our institutions into peril, it Ijas therefore become the imperative duty of the American party, to interpose for the purpose ot giving peace tp the country and per petuity to the Union. .And as experience has shown it impossible to reconcile opinions so ex treme as those which separate the disputants, and as there can he no dishonor in submitting to tiie laws, the National Council lias ‘teemed it the best guarantee of common justice atid of future peace, to abide hy anti maintain the existing laws upon the subject of slavery, as a final and conclusive settlement of that subject, in spirit ar.d in sub stance. And regarding it the highest duty to avow their opinions upon a sulj’ect so important, in distinct and unequivocal terms, it is hereby declared as the sense of this National Council, that Congress possesses no power, under the Constitution, to legislate, upon tiie subject of Slavery in the Slates where it does or may exist, or to exclude ahy State from admission into the Union, because its 1 Constitution does or does not recognise the in stitution of Slavery as a part of its social system; and expressly pretermitling any expression of opinion upon the power of Congress to establish or prohibit Slavery in any Territory, it is the sense of the National Council that Congress ought not to legislate upon the subject of Slavery within the Territories of the United Statps, and that any interference bv Congress with Slavery as it exists in the District of. Columbia, would be a violation of the spirit and intention of tire com pact by which the State of Maryland ceded the District to the United Stales, and a breach of the National faith. .... XIII. —The policy of the Government of the United States,.in its relations with foreign gov ernments, is to exact justice from the strongest, and do justice to the weakest; restraining, by all tl|e power of the government, all its citizens from interference with the'internal concerns of nations with whom \\e are at peace. XIV. —The National Council declares that all the principles of the OrJer shall be henceforward everywhere Openly avowed ; -and that each mem ber shall be at liberty to make known Ihe exist ence of tlje Order, and the Dot that he hitnself is a memb&r, and it recommends that there be no concealment of the places of meeting of subordi nate councils. • • E.
